~With Carlo~

It was the middle of the night in my hotel room and while I slept, I felt something wrong in the air. When I woke up, I heard someone's voice.

カルロ (Carlo?)

I turned around to see my best friend Masami with red eyes and I was wondering what was going on.

マサミ？ 泣いているの？ (Masami? Are you crying?)

She tried to deny it, but she broke down in tears. She hugged me and buried her head into my chest as I comforted her.

どうしましたか？ (What's wrong?)

それは悪です。 彼はここにいて、私がここに來る前に彼は私にこれをくれました。 (It's Evil. He's here and he just gave me this before I came here.)

I turned on the lights and I saw that Masami has a broken nose!

What did she look like? Well, something like this...

She kept crying and holding onto me for comfort as I was feeling intense anger for Evil to abuse one of my best friends. She got up and looked at me with tears still coming down her face.

私があなたとここにいても大丈夫ですか？ 私はバッグを持っていて、一人になりたくありません。 私はあなたの個人的なスペースに侵入しないようにします。 (Is it okay if I stay here with you? I have my bag with me and I don't want to be alone. I'll make sure not to invade your personal space.)

もちろんできます。 その最後の部分については心配しないでください。 あなたが望む限り私と一緒にいてください。 (Of course you can. Don't worry about that last part. Stay with me as long as you want. )

カルロありがとう。 あなたは良い友達です。 (Thank you Carlo. You're a good friend.)

私はいつもしようとします。 (I always try to.)

私は自分自身をきれいにし、少し後に少し眠りにつくつもりです。 (I'm gonna go clean myself up and get some sleep after a bit.)

了解しました。 (Alright.)

Masami went into the bathroom and was cleaning herself up as I waited for her to come back out. I was grabbing some water and turning on the tv watching some anime and drinking some water.

When she came out of the bathroom in her plain white t-shirt and sports shorts, I was a bit in awe, but I didn't want to make her feel uncomfortable. So I ignored it.

私があなたを起こした後、あなたはいくつかのアニメを見ることに決めましたか？ (After I woke you up, you decided to watch some anime?)

ええ、日本語をもっと學ぶためだけでなく、婚約者のお尻を蹴る方法を考えないようにするためです。 (Yeah, not just to learn more Japanese, but to keep myself from thinking about how to kick your fiancé's ass.)

あなたはそれをする必要はありません。 それはそれだけの価値はありません。 (You don't need to do that. It's not worth it.)

たぶん、でもマサミ、あなたは私の友達で、あなたがこのように見えるのを見て、私を怒らせました。 (Maybe, but Masami, you're my friend and to see you look like this just pissed me off.)

カルロ。 愚かなことは何もしないでください。 彼を追いかけてほしくない。 (Carlo. Please, just don't do anything stupid. I don't want you to go after him.)

彼を追いかけないでファック。 この刺し傷はあなたに鼻を骨折させました、そして私はあなたに言っています、誰かが女の子である私の友人に手を置くならば、彼らは彼らのお尻を蹴られるでしょう。 マサミ、次の新日本公演が來るとき、私は彼を追いかけます。 (Fuck not going after him. This prick gave you a broken nose and I'm telling you, if someone puts their hands on a friend of mine who's a girl, they're going to get their ass kicked. Masami, when the next New Japan show is here, I'm going after him.)

結構です。 彼にレッスンを教えさせてあげますが、一緒に行きます。 (Fine. I'll let you teach him a lesson, but I'm gonna go with you.)

私はあなたを取り戻しました。 何か南に行けば、私はそこにいます。 (I got your back. If anything goes south, I'll be there.)

When I said that, Masami blushed hard. I don't know that it was, but I let it go.

もう寢るところです。 少し下げてもよろしいですか？ (I'm about to sleep. Do you mind turning it down a bit?)

承知しました。 あなたのために何でも。 (Sure. Anything for you.)

As she went to sleep, I had to text Gedo about what just happened and ask him about something. I feel pissed that I wasn't there to save her. If I was around when Masami got beaten, Evil would've had his legs broken and matching broken nose that my friend has. I guarantee it.

ゲド、寢てるの？ わたしは、あなたと話がしたいです。 (Gedo, are you asleep? I want to talk to you.)

誰も〜ない。 あなたは上手い。 男の子と一緒にクラブに出かけたところです。 どういうご用件ですか？ (No, man. You're good. Just went out to the club with the boys. What can I do for you?)

友達のマサミは少し前に悪に毆られ、鼻が骨折しました。 (My friend Masami got beaten by Evil not too long ago and she had a broken nose.)

ああ、くそ！ 彼女は大丈夫ですか？ (Oh shit! Is she alright?)

彼女は元気です。 彼女は私のホテルの部屋にいて、痛みを眠っています。 (She's good. She's in my hotel room, sleeping the pain away.)

私は過去に何が起こったのか知っていますが、あなたが彼女に何もしないことを知っています。なぜなら、それらの報告は誤りだったからです。(I know about what happened in the past, but I know you won't do anything to her 'cause those reports were false.)

ええ。(Yeah.)

私にできることはありますか？ (Anything I can do?)

明日は知っていますが、彼女と一緒に過ごすためだけにカードを外しても大丈夫ですか？ 次のショーに戻ってもっと頑張ることを約束します。 (I know the show's tomorrow, but is it okay if I can be taken off the card just to spend time with her? I promise to come back to the next show and work harder.)

もちろんできます！ その最後の部分については心配しないでください。 彼女のためにそこにいるだけです、それが重要です。 (Of course you can! Don't worry about that last part. Just be there for her, that's what matters.)

感謝します、ゲド。 ありがとうございました。 後もう一つ。 (I appreciate that, Gedo. Thank you. And one more thing.)

何でも。 (Anything.)

私の契約は2週間で期限切れになり、殘りの試合は1つですが、悪を追いかけて彼とストーリーを組むことはできますか？ 何が起こった後でも、彼に確実に手を差し伸べたいと思っています。 (My contract expires in two weeks and I have one match left, but can I go after Evil and be in a storyline with him? I just want to be sure that I get my hands on him after what happened.)

絶対に。 彼は女性を毆るに値しないので、これは非常に理にかなっています。 (Absolutely. He doesn't deserve to hit a woman so this would make a lot of sense.)

あなたはその権利を得ました。 寢なきゃ。 (You got that right. I gotta get some sleep.)

了解しました。 おやすみカルロさん。 (Alright. Goodnight Carlo-san.)

おやすみなさい。 (Good night.)

We stopped texting as I spent time with Masami the next day. We were watching

the show and hanging out with Kaori.

~Next Show~

I heard that Evil was going to have a promo against Jay White, the leader of Bullet Club, so it was perfect timing.

I had my chopper ready...

... along with my outfit.

When he started speaking, I was looking to beat his ass with a baseball bat I hid under the ring beforehand.

Before I went out there, Masami wanted to comfort me and see if I was okay.

カルロ、これを実行してもよろしいですか？ する必要はありません。 (Carlo, are you sure you want to do this? You don't need to.)

したい、まさみ。 彼はあなたに鼻骨折をしました、そして彼は報復を受けるつもりです。 私は男性が女性を毆るのを信じていません、そして彼があなたにそれをすることが私の限界點でした。 (I want to, Masami. He gave you a broken nose, and he's going to get retaliation. I don't believe in men hitting women and him doing that to you was my breaking point.)

As Evil started talking, I revved my chopper, interrupting him. He was confused but he soon let it go. He was about to talk again, but I kept revving my chopper. My music played and when I rode out there, he was PISSED.

I had a glare in my eyes and that had to let him know that I wanted to teach him a lesson about what happens when someone hurts my friends.

I got off my chopper, took off my mask and jacket and stormed to the ring. When I got into the ring, I ran and took him down with a crossbody and was just raining punches.

The crowd cheered at this and I just didn't want to let up. He was able to get away from me, but I wasn't far behind him. I took out a chair and the baseball bat I had underneath the ring, ready to do some damage.

I threw the chair to Evil, who held it at his face before I swung the bat onto the chair, hitting hard into his face!

He lets go of the chair for me to see blood spraying everywhere like it was a lawn sprinkler and he's having a very bad summertime! I love it!

I threw him back into the ring to try and do the Shift In Power, but he rolled out of the ring and got away from me.

Come on you fucking son of a bitch! You hurt my friend, now you're gonna fucking pay!

As he looked on at me, trying to stop the blood coming from his nose, my theme played, showing that I wasted his time, which was what I wanted to do.

The mission was a success as I was given a chance to do a promo backstage.

The reason I went out there and did what I had to do, was because Evil had put his hands on my best friend, Masami Odate, or best known as Io Shirai. She came into my hotel room last week all bruised up with a fucking broken nose. You know in the past that I had controversy where women claimed that I was sexist and harassing them. That's not fucking true. I was respectful and I kept my hands to my fucking self and they still accused me! Let that be a message to not only those bitches I had to deal with, but to Evil!

I was ranting like a madman and I just couldn't stop. This is my best friend and for Evil to put his hands on her was something I don't tolerate.

You son of a fucking cocksucker! Yeah! I'm talking to you! You don't put your hands on a woman! Fuck you! Right now, as my contract is about to expire in a week, how about we fucking settle this and we fight in an Electrocuting Barbed Wire Deathmatch!

The reporters were shocked that I said this and I bet Masami was too, but this is what I wanted. I went through these types of matches during my time in CZW, so this would be perfect to teach Evil a lesson.

Right now, I'm holding the gun. And in the chamber, there's a bullet with your fucking name on it because next week, it's gonna go through your brain and kill you, because you put my hands on my friend, you're gonna pay for what you've done, and that is too fucking sweet.

I went out of the room and went to the hotel with Masami and Kairi as we had to sleep for a big day tomorrow.
